Wicket Club

Wicket Club is the premier cricket training facility in DMV area. The only other options are in Jessup and some baseball facilities trying to pass off as cricket facility. If you want to practice batting against bowling machine or get together with friends to brush up skills this place is perfect. They have everything you can need and the service is exemplary. Bowling runup is full which a great plus, they are always open and accommodate all requests. It does get busy but reservations are easy to make and helpful. You get snacks and drinks along with a nice lounge area to just chill and follow some cricket on huge 80 inch TVs. This is worth the drive up from Carolinas as I know some folks who do it. The other reviews only talk about what membership packages they used to offer and are now 3 years old. Dont go by them and check it out for yourself.

I am thoroughly disappointed in this wicket club. The owner failed to mention when purchasing a membership that both my friend and my sessions would expire. After my friend and I purchased the ten session package we used 3 sessions, leaving 7 sessions that we paid for. When we went back last week the owner told use that the length of time to use the sessions had expired and he would not let us finish our remaining sessions, so my friend and I both lost 80 dollars from the session to dollar ratio, 160 combined. We were both pissed. We had both driven from Fairfax to Sterling with our kits and even though the place was empty he would not let us play. When we first joined the owner told us that his wife had a passion for the sport, which is why he opened the place, we thought that he would want his customers to play the sport. The owner is a crook and having just started playing the sport has discouraged me from continuing. After both storming out and having no other place in the winter to play cricket we both our determined to tell everyone we know about the experience. Way to ruin the sport for me, what a jerk!

Good facilities. But beware about the issues with signing up for membership: it expires within 3 months.
Usually most places for other sports are much longer. Issue was the card printed for membership does not include the time limit for membership, not was it printed. Read the print in the brochures, since the owner did not verbally say so.
Disappointed as a new member that an exception wasn’t made since it hadn’t been too much time. Lost a lot of money.
I would also recommend the prices to come down, too pricey.
Since there is no other place, you may not have a choice. But just be careful since they will try to make a buck with every move you make.
